Glock quality - Picture

Too picky shoot and enjoy, these are well made guns, I had a few over the years, these are combat service guns, not colt pythons
 
Normal 'wear and tear'. Your Glock has been 'used' because you stated you've cycled and dry fired it a dozen or so times. This will not affect the pistol's function or longevity.
 
You want that to wear in, anyway. Along with the trigger bar that rides under it. The more those two parts wear together, the smoother the trigger will feel. After 10,000 rounds, you will notice a big difference between your trigger and a brand spanking new one (which will feel gritty in comparison).

Glock is a solid solid solid pistol. They engineer them right.
 
Haha, comparing a Glock to a Ferrari. That's wild.

But if you don't want it I'll take it for cheap, seeing as how it's so banged up and all.

I could always use another Glock.
 
The coating flaking off the safety plunger is something that has been "a thing" on Glocks for over a decade. Some plungers have the coating, some don't. Glock probably contracts out a ton of their small parts, and there are variances from production run to production run. Thing is, anything coated will wear, if it is one of the Teflon finishes it could wear/delaminate very fast. Just from your dry firing. The Glock is a sub $500 USD pistol, just because we get ass####ed by a ####ty economy, taxes and markup here and people pay $800-1000 CAD for a Glock doesn't mean it's worth that much. That flaking will have zero affect on the function of your pistol. They are designed as working guns, not show pieces. Once you start using it, you will have way more wear, but even then, they hold up remarkably well, i haven't been able to shoot one out yet, and i beat the crap out of mine, though im not as hard on them as Ganderite, i clean mine every odd numbered year.
 
I came here thinking the unimaginable had happened, and Glock QC had let a partially finished gun out into the wild. I get here and there's a tiny fleck on a moving part that isn't even visible when the gun isn't torn down. So bummed! Then we get ludicrous ravings about the gun being imperfect(!?) and it hasn't been shot yet ???- WTF dude. Next up there'll be a post about the gun being useless because it shoots low and left.

Lol is your whole life being upset about #### and b!tching about it on CGN? Must be exhausting to be in a constant state of aggravation.

Definitely don't shoot any of that slightly tarnished 9mm ammo you freaked out about a little while ago.
 
Dude....

I know a guy who has a Gen 3 21SF.
He told me the other day that he has never even had the slide off since buying it new about a decade ago.
Shoots and functions perfectly. No surprise....

I don't know the OP, and don't own a Glock. I think the way the question was phrased probably set this all off. Most threads like this have a; "is this normal?" tone to them, minus the disdain. Like others, I assign a "value" to things based on price sometimes. Meaning, the more I pay/the higher the expectations. Doesn't always work that way, sometimes you pay what you imagine to be a premium, to get the baseline of a certain brand. (make/model etc.)

I once bought a new Ruger 10/22 carbine/bare bones wood model..etc. First time cleaning, the paint from inside the receiver was about 1/3 flaked-off..and bits of it were peppered all over the bolt, spring, rod, etc. I may have asked about that here, can't remember. Probably did.

Took a wire brush to it, gave it a very thorough cleaning, and moved-on. Not a part, or an area of finish I was concerned about at the time. Figured it was a $325 gun=there will be compromises made
